Morphological limitations imposed on lizards facing urbanization

2023-05-12

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Habitat conversion in general, and urbanization in particular, are thought to create ecological filters that eliminate some species while simultaneously replacing them with others that thrive under novel conditions. The specific nature of these filters is unclear, but morphology may play an important role. Here, we seek to assess which lizard morphologies are favored in urban habitats. We quanti...
